Unlikely to be cancelled because the convention is the institution in the party that has the authority to nominate the presidential and vice-presidential candidate.

What is currently looking likely is that the party will move to a virtual convention. The individuals who have been elected as delegates will either receive a mail-in ballot or participate in a teleconference with state party officials. The state parties will then participate in a teleconference (with media access to that teleconference) for the roll call of the states to officially nominate the presidential and vice-presidential candidates. The virtual convention will also include filmed speeches from leading officials of the type that would typically be given at the convention. Whether the media will give those speeches the same type of coverage that they would typically give to a physical convention remains to be seen.

...the narrative going into Iowa was that "small, mostly-white states" shouldn't have such influential roles in the primaries because they "didn't represent American diversity"...

....and that narrative was used to discount the fact that "rural and religious" Iowa picked a gay Midwestern mayor over an 80-year old multi-millionaire career politician from the wealthiest, most-exclusive faction of the Democratic party...

nobody seems to remember that now... nobody remembers "all women should be believed".... nobody remembers "change".... nobody remembers that whole states still haven't gotten an opportunity to exercise their fundamental right to be heard through their votes...

nobody cares...

as long as you hate what they tell you to hate and march lock step with their narrative... the wheels on the bus keep going 'round and 'round...
